The Zenni Stage 6 Presented by Toyota at Grand Lake filmed in Grove, Oklahoma, will premiere Saturday on the Discovery Channel.

The four-day event featured 51 professional anglers competing for a $600,000 purse, with a $125,000 top prize and Angler of the Year points toward Kubota Heavy Hitters and REDCREST 2027.

# What's premiering

Fishing (MLF) Bass Pro Tour Zenni Stage 6 Presented by Toyota at Grand Lake — filmed earlier in 2026 in Grove, Oklahoma — will premiere Saturday on the Discovery Channel. The footage covers the four-day tournament hosted by the City of Grove and the Grove Convention and Tourism Bureau.

# Who competed and what was at stake

Fifty-one of the top professional bass anglers in the world made up the field. The tournament carried a total purse of $600,000, including a top payout of $125,000. Anglers also competed for Angler of the Year (AOY) points that matter for qualifying to the Kubota Heavy Hitters all‑star event and REDCREST 2027, the Bass Pro Tour championship.

# How the tournament worked

The event used MLF's multi-round structure with weights reset between key rounds:

  • Days 1–2: Two-day Qualifying Round. The pro with the heaviest combined two-day total advanced directly to the Championship Round.

This format means early consistency can secure an automatic Championship berth, while other contenders must reset and fish for single-day performance in later rounds.

# Sponsors and partners
